Fall TV Predictions for 2018-19 Season
A MILLION LITTLE THINGS
Though it is set in Boston, the ABC drama will go through its entire first season without featuring a single character who has the area’s signature (“signatchah”) accent.
THE ALEC BALDWIN SHOW
Either due to awkward controversy (he’s a bit of a tweeter!) or general disinterest, Baldwin’s ABC talk show will be yanked off the schedule and fail to score a second-season renewal.
ARROW
Season 7 will open with Roy Harper, seven months into the future, being interrogated about the murder of Oliver Queen — and the rest of the story unfolds in flashbacks to the present.
BLINDSPOT
Patterson and Rich Dotcom will drunkenly hook up before the fall finale, prompting a multi-episode arc in which they try to deny they have feelings for each other.
BRANDON VICTOR DIXON
Fresh off his Power run and still buzzy after his electrifying Jesus Christ Superstar Live turn, the triple-threat actor will show up on at least three (3) primetime shows this season.
GOLDEN GLOBES
As if picking up Brooklyn Nine-Nine wasn’t good enough, NBC will announce that Andy Samberg is hosting the January 2019 telecast.
CHARMED
Naysayers will eventually come around to The CW’s well-intended reboot… though not early enough to earn it a Season 2 renewal.
CHICAGO FIRE
Dawson and Casey’s relationship status will stay murky for several episodes, until Casey finally decides to move on and file for divorce.
CRAZY EX-GIRLFRIEND
In a mea culpa of sorts for literally not recognizing Rachel Bloom at the Tonys, Neil Patrick Harris will guest-star (and sing!) at some point during the acclaimed comedy’s farewell season.
DANCING WITH THE STARS
Former Olympic gymnast Mary Lou Retton will prove herself to be a dark horse in Season 27 and will reach the finale alongside pro Sasha Farber.
FBI
Buoyed by a strong lead-in in NCIS — and with CBS wanting to keep prolific producer Dick Wolf in their good graces — the Missy Peregrym-led drama will be the first series to earn a full-season pick-up.
FRESH OFF THE BOAT
Awkwafina will guest-star during a November sweeps episode of the ABC comedy, reuniting her with her Crazy Rich Asians BFF, Constance Wu.
GREY’S ANATOMY
DeLuca seemingly hit the sheets with Meredith in the first “Season of Love” trailer. But our money is on, of all people, Koracick to turn out to be the doctor for whom she ultimately falls. (Hey, showrunner Krista Vernoff did tell us that some of Grey’s suitors would surprise us. And he is deeper than we at first imagined.)
HOW TO GET AWAY WITH MURDER
The Keating Four student that won’t get accepted into Annalise’s third-year legal clinic? Laurel.
I FEEL BAD
The Amy Poehler-produced comedy will struggle in its post-Will & Grace time slot, compromising lead-out SVU‘s numbers and forcing NBC to swap in the rescued Brooklyn Nine-Nine by November Sweeps. (Good thing they just ordered five more B99 episodes!)
LAST MAN STANDING
Regardless of its Friday time slot, the sitcom revival’s premiere will rate higher than at least half of Fox’s earlier Premiere Week launches.
LETHAL WEAPON
With potential love interest Riggs gone and newbie Cole likely to reunite with baby mama Natalie, Jordana Brewster’s Dr. Cahill will completely vanish from the canvas by midseason.
SUPER BOWL LIII
CBS will announce in October that an episode of Magnum P.I. featuring a very special guest star will air after the Big Game on Feb. 3.
MIDNIGHT, TEXAS
The town’s couples will break up in this order: Manfred/Creek, Joe/Chuy, Fiji/Bobo.
MODERN FAMILY
The “significant character” to kick the bucket will be… Claire and Mitchell’s mom DeDe (recurring guest star Shelley Long), sending the brother and sister to therapy to (amusingly) work through unresolved issues.
MURPHY BROWN
In an instance of history repeating itself, the CBS revival will inspire a less-than-glowing tweet from President Trump… which will then be addressed/mocked in an episode later this season.
THE NEIGHBORHOOD
Kat Dennings will guest-star on 2 Broke Girls co-star Beth Behrs’ rookie CBS sitcom, playing a new mail carrier who attempts to coax Behrs and Max Greenfield’s married couple into having a threesome.
PARENTHOOD
NBC will commission a two-hour, holiday-themed movie revival of the beloved family drama, to air in November 2019.
RIVERDALE
One of the teen soap’s two central romances — Betty and Jughead, or Archie and Veronica — won’t survive the end of 2018.
THE ROOKIE
Showing promise but hampered by soft lead-ins and strong drama competition, the Nathan Fillion starrer will be moved out of its Tuesdays-at-10 time slot by January.
ROSWELL, NEW MEXICO
Realizing that its clunky attempt at a name distinct from the original WB series is simply horrible for SEO (as well as, you know, clunky), The CW’s midseason reboot will be retitled.
SEINFELD
With Veep coming to a close and thus freeing up the last of the foursome, NBC will announce a limited-run revival this spring, with an eye on a 2020 premiere.
SUPERGIRL
Following this year’s Arrowverse crossover, the CW drama will find a reason to bring Lois Lane (to be played by Grimm‘s Elizabeth Tulloch) into CatCo for an extended arc.
SUPERSTORE
As if Amy and Jonah need another obstacle, Amy will discover that she and Adam are expecting not one, but two babies. Yep, it’s twins!
THE WALKING DEAD
To facilitate Andrew Lincoln’s exit, Rick will meet the grisly fate that the Whisperers dished out to several other principals in Robert Kirkman’s comic-book series. Afterward, Michonne will step up and take his place as the leader of the quarrelsome communities.
